Is Africa a good place to install solar minigrids?
“While Africa remains the least electrified continent, it also has the biggest potential for solar minigrid deployment,” said Gabriela Elizondo Azuela, manager of the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). “Solar minigrids can reach populations today that would otherwise wait years to be reached by the grid.
Can solar mini grids solve Africa's energy access gap?
NAIROBI, February 27, 2023 – Solar mini grids can provide high-quality uninterrupted renewable electricity to underserved villages and communities across Sub-Saharan Africa and be the least-cost solution to close the energy access gap on the continent by 2030.
How much does it cost to build a mini grid in Africa?
Powering 380 million people in Africa by 2030 will require the construction of more than 160,000 mini grids at a cumulative cost of $91 billion. At the current pace, only around 12,000 new mini grids serving 46 million people will be built by 2030 at a total investment cost of approximately $9 billion.
